ADAM 0.14.0 is now available. Special thanks to Arun Ahuja, Timothy Danford, Michael L Heuer, Uri Laserson, Frank Nothaft, Andy Petrella and Ryan Williams for their contributions to this release!

This release uses the newly-released Apache Spark 1.1.0 which brings operational and performance improvements in Spark core. Two new scripts, adam-shell and adam-submit, allow you to use ADAM via the Spark shell or the Spark submit script in addition to the ADAM CLI.

The Hadoop-BAM team is now publishing their artifacts to Maven Central (yea!) so we no longer rely on snapshot releases. ADAM 0.14.0 uses the 7.0.0 release of Hadoop-BAM.

This release also adds a new Java plugin interface, improves MD tag processing as well as fixes numerous bugs.

We hope that you enjoy this release. Drop by #adamdev on freenode.net, follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our mailing list to stay in touch.
